Collisions at Sea.

Commander F. +. Chadwick, u. S. Navy,
in Scribner's Magazine for May.
Collision will and must remain the
great and really almost the one DAM
ger which the North Atlantic traveller
need fear. He can rarely hope to cross
IN the usual steam route without ex-
periencing a run Of sbine hundreds of
miles through fog, especially ON leav-
ing or approaching our coast. So long
as the Gulf Stream and the cold in.ly-
ing current from the north move in
juxtaposition as they do, SO long will
the fog be almost always present up-
on the border-land dividing them.
How easy it is for great ship to be
sunk was shown in the case OF the
Oregon. A blow from a pigmy schoon-
er not more than one-tenth her size,
and a hole was opened through her
side which unfortunate circum-
stances combined to make fatal, and
the great vessel, d triumph Of
human skill in hull and machinery; Is
lying in u few hours upon the
bottom of the sea, with million days
of skilled labor, as represented by
ship and cargo, in this moment made
valueless: Who can over-estimate
the care and responsibility upon the
man who commands such q ship? In
what other calling are they found as
such a constant part of daily life?
And now lily they are paid for it!
The only remedy for such all acct:
dent as that which befell the unlucky
Oregon seems to be subdivision to d
greater extent than has heretofore
been attempted in a merchant ship;
and that this will come in a degree
which will make the finer passenger
ships practically unsuitable, unless
under most exceptional circumstance
es, would seem quite sure.

A London correspondent quotes Sir
Charles Topper as saying OF Mr.. O'Brien's
visit to Canada: One Of the advantages
which we think the British y stem has over
the American system is that both in
England and in Canada all parties treat
the executive head OF the nation as hey ond
criticism. Fiercely as controversy may
rage between the two parties. they all
unite in sustaining the executive head Of
the country. 1t naturally follows that we
disapprove very strongly Of departure
the country to attack the queens repre-
sentative, and that Interference to the ques.
tions that have no relation to Canada
and Canadian affairs. At the same time
everybody deplorcs the fact that Mr..
OBricn should have been made the subject
OF violence by any interference. Such a
thing is most unusual thing for Canada,
where the freest speech on all questions ID
tolerated,

Coming to Their Senses.

From tht Brooklyn Eagle.
A lady writing from England says:
''The American girls who have mar
ried noblemen have, in so many in.
stances, led miserablelives that it has
created q panic all along the line. The
noblemen are not always to blame
either. You see they have often been
brought up IN the most selfish fashion,
and they naturally imagine the obliga-
ton should be all on one side.
''Then it is verv difficult for an
American young lady to ADOPT herself
to life abroad. She finds all manner
of stumbling blocks thrown in her way,
and altogether lido not see how she
can possibly be as happy with a for.
eigner as she would with q good clear
headed common-sense American hus-
band, even if she is called countess or
duchess. Then there is another draw
back. These titled foreigners may
recognize us American women, but
they have horrid way of snubbing
our fathers and brothers, and l am
glad to see that American girls are be-
ginning to come to their senses.

ertion; in severe cases the cough is
troublesome. The treatment should
be As follows: Give two drains Of
chlorate of potassa finely powdered
in some molassas and q little pine tar,
make thick enough to spread on the
teeth and tongue SO that it will be
swallowed: This Is given morning
and night: Givs also one Ounce OF
hyposulphite of soda at noon in some
cut feed moistened, with warm water:
Do not expose the horse to cold winds
Or rains, and keep the stable clean
and free from manure: The disease
is contagious. and to prevent any
severe attack of other animals give
each one the hyposulphite of soda
daily in some feed Continue the
above treatment until the disease
disappears.-N. Y. Times.

Some Uses Of an Egg.

For burns and scalds nothing is
more soothing than the white of an
egg, which may be poured over the
wound. It is softer as varnish than
collodion, and being always at hand,
can be applied. It is also more COOL
ing than the sweet oil and cotton which
was formerly supposed to be the sur
est application to allay the smarting
pain.
The egg is considered to be one of the
best OF remedies for dysentery. Beat
en- up slightly, with or without sugar,
and swallowed at a gulp, it tends, by
its emollient qualities, to lessen the in
nammation Of the stomach and intes-
tines, and by forming a transient at
ing on these organs, to enable nature
to resume her healthful sway over a.
diseased body. Two, or at most three
eggs per day would be all that is re-
quired in ordinary cases; and since
egg is not merely medicine, but food
as we'll, the lighter the diet otherwise
and the quieter the patient is kept, the
more certain and rapid is the recov.

Not Familiar with Tickets,

Ex.secretary of War Lincoln. his.
family and several friends were on
their way East from tho slope few
days before the inter-etate-commerce
law went into effect. They had been
out of San Francisco two days and
were passing through q rather rocky

man got aboard the train and entered

Lincoln and his party and the English

Washington Special: Gov. HcGil1 and
staff, accompanied by Maj. Strait and
Congressman Mcdonald, called by appoint
ment upon President Cleveland on the
25th Inst, and spent social half hour
with him. In the name of Minnesota the
governor rendered the president an invita-
ton to visit St. Paul at the coming state
fair. The president expressed q strong de-
sire to know the West better and expressed
a hope to be able to accept the invitation.
He said he did not see how it could be- ar
ranged at this time, but hoped to find
time before the summer was over. Gov.
McGill and party also called upon Secre-
tary Endicott, who suspended an official
hearing and gave his visitors welcome.
The governor then proceeded to tho grand
stand in front of the White House, whence
he reviewed in company with the president,
Gov. Lee OF Virginia and others, the pa.
rade OF the companies present there at the
drill.

Chronic Diarrhes In . Horse.

Diarrhea is caused by chronic indi.
gestion or by various errors in feeding.
chiefly giving water too copiously aft
er feeding and before active work or
rapid driving. In the first case med,-
cine should be given to suit the case,
such as a pint of raw linseed oil twice
a week, followed by one.dram doses,
each given daily for a month, of sui
phate of iron and powered Peruvian
bark: In the other case the cause is
to be avoided and water always CIV
en- Is minutes before feeding and not
after it.. This mistake 6f watering
horses soon after feeding is often very
hlischievous; and causes a good deal
of trouble of which the origin Is not
suspected. The food, not digested,
is washed out of the stomach into the
bowels, and on the movement of these,
caused by work or by being driven on
the road, and softened watery mat
ter is passed quickly out of the intes-
tines. Medicine is obviously useless
in such case.-N. Y. Times.

Ashamed of the way He Voted


Gen. Harrison, during his months
sojour1 at the White House, made
himself very popular, says B. p.
Poore: He arose every morning with
the sun, took a long walk, often re.
turning through the market. On one
OF theso occasions he purchased a new
mich COW from q neighboring farmer,
and requested him to drive it to the
Presidents house. The General was
thereto attend to the animal, and in.
vited the farmer to take some refresh
ment, procuring a bowl Of hot coffee,
ham and eggs, and continued Eoiivef:
sation with him about farming:
The farmer, having finished his break
fast, remarked to the General: "You
have bought my COW and given me So
more than asked, and good break
fast besides, out if it wouldn't be too
much trouble would like to have a
look at the President before l co."
II am the President" remarked the
General. The farmer at first looked
ncredulous, having taken his hospit-
able friend for the steward; but, con-
WINGED of his mistake, with much
frankness observed: "Well, General,
voted against you at the election,
but didn't know you then"

The feeding 81 crops in d green state

The formation Of grains and seeds

before seed-ripening does not: The
way, then, to enrich the farm is to
grow large quantities Of succulent
